This cheese is the only food which can entice the Chess Master, for its delicate aroma carries the scent... of victory! The Kings of both teams long for a morsel of this cheese, believing it will bring them mastery over the game, but if you can defeat them, the Chess Master himself will challenge you for a piece. Don't leave this cheese out too long, though, or you may find yourself with a stale, mate.

Using Checkmate Cheese

Locations

• Zugzwang's Tower

• Capturing either the Mystic King or Technic King without Checkmate Cheese armed will cause the Hunter to be returned to the Seasonal Garden.
• Capturing either the Mystic King or Technic King with Checkmate Cheese will allow the Hunter to remain in Zugzwang's Tower and attempt to capture the Chess Master.
• Checkmate Cheese is required to attract the Chess Master.

Mice

Checkmate Cheese is required to attract the Chess Master.

Checkmate Cheese will attract all the mice in Zugzwang's Tower, but arming it improves the chance a Hunter will encounter the mice needed to fill empty silhouettes in the HUD. For example, if a Hunter needs to attract a Mystic Rook to unlock access to the Mystic Queen, arming Checkmate Cheese will increase the chances of encountering the Mystic Rook.
